SewCalGal Oct. 2012 FMQ Challenge

I'm in LOVE! With my new Pfaff creative performance AND Guettermann thread!! They love each other and I love them :-) **sigh** (of relief!) Both Guettermann 100% polyester (5.2 tension setting) and their 100% Viscose embroidery threads (2.4 tension setting) work beautifully for quilting with this machine when using an 80/12 topstitching needle. You can move any direction you desire!

Here are my results (note: the 30w Superior is the green and I did have tension issues with it - operator error, I'm sure, but still, it's awfully nice to put in the thread my machine likes and sail away without any tension problems!)

About Rocknquilts!

A beginning quilter explores the world of quilting via Harriet Hargrave's "Heirloom Machine Quilting", 5th ed., Harriet and daughter Carrie Hargrave's "Quilter's Academy" series and through reproduction Civil War fabrics and quilt designs.

Long winters in North Dakota, USA lend themselves beautifully to piecing and quilting. Married for 20 years with two grown children, three grandchildren and two children at home, it was easy to decide to begin to learn to quilt. This is my journey. Thank you for joining me.
